If Eye had M(eye) Maria
Where would She be?
Perhaps @ a dance
Under a tree —
Or Eye would be hugging Her
Loving Her as Mine —
She was M(eye) Beautiful 2nd Daughter
She is Spirit —
(butt that’s Not Fine)

As light snow falls
& music plays
& cats sleep
& candles burn
Eye am already
in Heaven

As of Today’s Sermon
@ the humble Southside Church
Jesus is Real 2 Me
As if for The 1st Time
May I Heal
My Physical Afflictions
(there are no Spiritual ones)

Eye wonder if Pappy knew
that someday Eye would inherit
His Rosewood Chair
carved in Birmingham, Alabama
by a one-eyed black man —
could Pappy have known
that in December of 2025
Eye would sit in M(eye) re-vamped Livingroom
looking @ the double-carved arm rests
thinking of The Game He played
of The Little Man
starting @ the top of The Roses
& walking down, finger by finger
2 stop @ the tips
of the concave arm rests
2 gaze around, 2 look —
finger by finger
for The Little Girl lying on the floor
@ Pappy’s feet
ecstatic in anticipation
waiting for The Little Man 2 fly
2 launch Himself off The Wooden Cliff
tickling Me as He Landed?
